What Makes Us Different is ....

I think there is an extreme importance to define why Bags Unlimited is different from other companies. First, I do believe there ARE other good companies out there, but I think BU is more of a niche company, well defined and shaped by our customers. We place a HIGH regard on QUALITY, INTEGRITY with an emphasis on assurance that we are manufacturing only top grade products that we stand behind. We also know that the economy is tough, and although we too have rising costs, we try to off-set some of those costs by offering wholesale, bonus points, weekly special and close outs. If you have never tried any of our products before, I would like to invite you to try us once and see what a difference it can make. FREE SHIPPING east of the MI, and free shipping anywhere (*except on plus frt. notices) when you spend 200.00. ...we are here to help! Let us know if you need a free catalog and/or sample! Sincerely, The BU Team. www.bagsunlimited.com

ALL ABOUT POSTCARDS

As postcards became the quickest, easiest way to send a greeting or note around 1898, they also made the perfect vehicle for a joke. A postcard back has just enough space for an illustration and a zinger, and the sender had the pleasure of knowing they’d just delivered a smile—or a guffaw. Some comic postcards were political in nature, mocking a political candidate, the suffrage movement, or the enemy during a war. Others featured favorite characters from the newspaper funny pages. Some of these familiar comic-strip icons, like Buster Brown, were employed in postcards sent out as witty advertisements. Still others contained racy or risque jokes or racist caricatures of African Americans. By the elections of 1900, postcards were becoming an acceptable means of sending out campaign propaganda, and particularly jabs against rival candidates. However, it was during t... FUN READ!

GET YOUR COUPON DISCOUNT CODES

Some people have been asking how do they get the coupon codes for discounts? Well, I have an answer for all you who have been waiting. Twice a year we do a great undertaking and send out a mass email. In that email you will find coupons codes for discounts, and updates on product info and other information that you may need to know.
Remember, the wholesale guidelines are posted on the website, and we do offer free samples upon request, and we WHOLLY support SHOWS and CONVENTIONS for collectors of almost every kind! * Ask for details.
Contact us by phone 800-767-2247, or by email to customercare@bagsunlimited.com and ask to put on the customer list. We do not sell or divulge your email to anyone.
*ALSO: some people order under two names! It's good to let us know so we can combine them (yet keep them separate if need be) so you can get your bonus points! Remember, bonus points add up to a 10% discount!

CONVENTION and SHOW SEASON for COMICS, RECORDS, POSTCARDS, BOOKS and MORE

Well, we're headed into SPRING FORWARD time which means the days will be longer, but certainly not lazier! It's convention and show time! There are so many great shows coming up we couldn't possibly begin to list them all, as much as we would like to. Some folks that have taken advantage of our SHOW PROMOTION PACKAGE, however (where you get FREE STUFF!) and are listed in our LINKS category on our website @ SHOW LINKS
This is definitely a PLUS for any convention or shows looking to promote! We all know that the larger the turnout, the more likely it is that your business will grow!
Some of the upcoming shows feature artists, and various personalities that have made a mark in their industry. Getting autographed pictures is always a plus! (Be sure to preserve them in one of our acid free sleeves and backing boards!).
We hope to continue to offer more ways to help conventions and shows expand as needs arise.
If you would like to promote YOUR show, please contact DAVE STREET at 800-767-2247 or Marion.
Dave will be at some of the more local shows, so please introduce yourself if you see him! (He would be the smiling face at the Bags Unlimited table).
Another thing I would like to bring up is vinyl records. We all know vinyl has become more popular within the last couple of years, and we are offering a special give away for Record Stores in NYS that are participating in Record Store Day. Many people are still unaware of the expansive line we offer for records, including printing on record jackets!
At any rate, as this new season begins, let's all try to help one another to grow, and if you happen to see us at one of the shows, please be sure to say "hi"! We're always interested in meeting our customers and would be more than happy to discuss products and pricing with you. (We offer many levels of wholesale pricing, so please be sure to ask!).
So, here is to a new season with BIG SHOWS WITH LOTS OF ATTENDEES~
